| two things must be done--run the
thing for all 1t Is worth, get up steam
and keep 1t, or quilt the whole thing,
slide out and let nature take its course.
If you want business to come TO your
town encourage those who do come.
II you want prosperous town where
people can come who are disposed to
make homes, then do away with and
bury from sight all jealousy and spite,
work no more for few individuals,
but all work together for a common
prosperity aud mutual benefit. Wake
up, rub your eyes, roll up your sleeves
and go to work. Don't work with fear
and trembling, but take 1t for granted
that blood will tell. Leave results TO
themselves borrow no trouble, but
unite to make 1t the biggest kind Of a
town."
--PETERsoN's MAGAZINE for October
Is on hand. and Is one of the best num-
bers of this year of even unusual excel
lence. The steel-engraving is charm
ing reproduction Of Leslie's beautiful
painting, "a Maiden FAIR to See." and
the fashion plates, wood-cuts. and de-
signs for the workable are all capital.
There is an interesting illustrated ar
ticle by way Of opening. and the stories
and poems are exceptionally good. In
this number are given the offers to per-
sons getting up clubs for next year,
and they are very tempting: few mag
azines award premiums that approach
the valuable books and engravings
Jefferson" bestows. The attractions
for 1883 are numerous-new writer's to
be added to the staff Of favorite old con-
tributors, more costly engravings and
wood-cuts- fact, novelty and fresh
variety in every department. One can
be certain this is NOT only said, but re-
ally meant: for this popular magazine
has proved, during nearly half centu-
ry, that its promises are always faith
fully kept. Terms: Two Dollars per
year, with great deductions to clubs.
SampIe-coples sent free to those desir-
ing to get up clubs. Address PETER

Philadelphia, Pa.
Col. E. F. Babcock returned home
Friday from Boston, having attended
the American Pathological society.
which has just closed its twenty-sec-
ond meeting In that city. The Col. 10
justly elated over the success of the
Arkansas exhibit and gives the follow
ing interesting account Of the trip
"We went to Boston with what we re-
garded as fair exhibit Of the fruit Of
our state. We were cordially received
by the management and the people,
and put our apples on display. No
sooner was the fruit opened to view
than large crowds gathered around,
aud after thorough inspection all
pronounced 1t the finest collection of
apples in the building. Old pomolo-
gisrs were surprised and did not hest
tate to pronounce 1t the best in all res
poets of any they had ever seen.
When the time came to award the
prize, we requested that the very best
men Of the society be placed OIL that
committee. and If possible no southern
member be selected. 4. Z. Leyon Of
Michigan, DIR. Hixhammer of New
York and Mr.. p. M. Augur Of Connec-
ticut, all of them expert pomologists,
composed the committee, and by a
unanimous vote Arkansas was award
ed the first prize, the Wilder silver
medal, the highest prize ever given by
this society. This was gained through
the exhibition of sixty-eight varieties
of Arkansas Seeding apples"
But not content with this, an entry
was made for the best display Of apples
and again was Arkansas successful,
obtaining the first prize. This was not
emily the Judgment of the committee,
but the great throng who saw and al
mired the display.
